"Representative democracy" has failed; the private sector is "inept"; and only bigger government - led by China and the US - has the power to save the world from climate change.
So says Bill Gates in a dogmatic but somewhat confused interview with The Atlantic in which he simultaneously pours scorn on green tech solutions but insists that more of them are needed - on a scale bigger than the Manhattan Project - if we are to deal successfully with a problem whose nature he admits may well have been exaggerated by environmentalists.

Does this mean Gates is going to give away all his money?
Why not? Bill’s got his.
Bill, ixnay on the ocialismsay. We don’t want the serfs to make the connection.
I’ve-got-mine-F-everyone-else PING
“Representative democracy”
Moron. We never had one. Constitutional Republic you thieving idiot. The more money people get he dumber they get but think they are smarter.
BTW, our republic has been bastardized in steps starting with Lincoln, then FDR, then LBJ and on to now.
I’ll repeat what I said on one of the other threads.
“FUBG”.
Oh goody! More reasons to pirate some MS software!
Cant let that capitalism and representative democracy stuff keep me away from your products, Bill.
I mean, you have enough. Time to share the wealth, comrade!
I’ll start to listen when he starts to walk the walk: live in the 1600 sq. ft. home, drive the Prius, public schools
Or, better yet, have Bernie/Hillary confiscate all he owns for the ‘common good’.
Else, he can go cry into his fois gras
Just protecting his own nuts from the nuts.
He needs to be put somewhere the Windows have bars.
give up all your money and huge secure compound then, bill. socialism will need it more than you do.
Bill Gates is already in the door. He and Buffett need to protect their wealth, so they know who they need to appease.
I think Rush nailed it yesterday. Gates is saying this kind of crap to inoculate himself against the money-grabbing leftist idiots who attack rich people.
"Only Socialism can save us from the Crisis De Jour manufactured by Socialists"
And if you really believe it...why not try to live in some of those outstanding People's Socialist Republics.
Get back to us on that about ten years from now...if you can afford a text message or phone call.
Being good at geekiness obviously does not mean you are wise. He is not even wise enough to know when to shut up and stick to his day job.
Yep. Bill Gates has his and doesn’t want any competition.
This is called “Pulling Up the Ladder.”
Does this guy act like his dad was once the head of planned parenthood or what?
I think it means that he’s been infected with a brain eating virus.
Does this mean he will stop making tings that run on electricity on nasty chemical chips inside hunk of petroleum?
